WHAT IS YOUR ROOMMATE BRINGING?

Be sure to connect with your roommate ahead of time to discuss any shared space items to make sure you’re both on the same page. Additionally, remember, anything you bring into Cornish Commons is your responsibility to remove at the end of your time with us. Before you pack it, ask yourself, “do I really need this?”
